The rst aim of the article is to show the Elias perspective on phenomena connected with the musical life of society and to consider the guration processes connected with human practices directed at music. The author reects on the dual feedback of the activities of individuals and the structural determinants conditioning those activities. As an example, she discusses Elias’s case study of the socio-cultural and historical-economic background of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s creativity. The second aim of the article is to show the possibility of applying socio-musical guration to various areas of human life associated with music, beginning with the question of the role of professional musicians and gender questions, through the political factors connected with musical creativity, and ending with the presence of music in the religious sphere and the rules governing the sacral context. Her reections are premised on the idea that socio-musical life based on social norms and rules established during the civilization process is simultaneously undergoing a constant modication and transformation on account of the subjective activities of individuals.
